Holiday Spirit at CG!

Dec 23, 2007

Hey, sweet ones!

Today I was walking to the pantry to get yet another cup of bitter "Flavia" coffee, when I saw a gazillion boxes lined along the walls loaded with stuff like tampons, shoes, notebooks, and clothes. After asking around, I discovered that tons of friends of CG! had donated items to be shipped out to school girls in Kenya, under the umbrella of our Born to Lead Award winner Paige Fern's charity, Education Without Boundaries. It was so refreshing, in these last days of shop-til-you-drop mania before Christmas, to see the love flowing out in a charitable way. CG!'s Ad Sales Elves were busy taping up boxes to ship off to our CG! sisters in Africa. It made me reevaluate the way my own money gets spent every day. That extra cash for Starbucks? Um, not so worth it. I guess I get stuck drinking this "Flavia" coffee, which I hate, but it's a small sacrifice when you see how great the needs are of people all around us, both in our backyards and on the other ends of the earth. If you'd like to get involved somehow, check out the beautiful charities that our Born to Lead Winners created here! You won't be sorry you did!
